I use zim notebooks on different locations ans sync directly via git.
Most of the time this works fine, but sometimes I get problems because
zim does not recognize that a file was changed in the background. 
When I start to modify this (outdated) page, I get a warning
message, when zim tries to save the file, with the options to revoke all
changes or overwrite the file.

For new zim pages, a manual index update is needed.

cheers,
 stefan
